Recommended Posts

This was my first GTR35 set which I completed for a local car. I ended up attempting the True Quad setup and I was pretty happy with the way they turned out. I learnt quite a lot from this first set. Ill know what to do and what not to do for future sets.

Enjoy the pix....

HL specs:

* JDM GTR35 headlights

* Quad Mini H1 5.0's

* White painted cutoff shields

* TRS side emitting LED strips for the new "Parker" setup

* Mini Gatling Gun shroud (Low beam housing) + regular Gatling Gun shroud (High beam housing)

* Full Satin Black finish using: VHT Prime coat SP305 "Satin Black"

CLear lense pulled off

OEM low beam projector vs Mini H1 5.0.

Both lense holders are lined up. Very similar sized projectors

2.5" Mini H1 lense vs Slightly smaller OEM lense (forgot to get a measurement)

Mini H1 fits like a glove in the OEM low beam reflector bowl

Even the OEM headlight bezel fits around the Mini H1 without any modification. Looks just like factory :) Happy days!!!

Anyone that wants to do a projector upgrade on a GTR35 HL will have the least hassle free experience with a Mini H1.

* minor dremelling of the housing underneath the projector

* JB Weld / Stik Mini H1 to the OEM reflector bowl

* Fit OEM bezel (without modifiaction)

Done deal!!

Bottom section of the OEM projector still needs dremelling

This is the dremelling I was talking about to fit the Mini H1. This helped with rotational alignment.

Both projectors fixed in place using JB Stik. You can see the M4 nuts & bolts thats helping to extend the Mini H1 in the High beam housing

Side emitting LEDs installed and showing off the new "Parkers"

Heres a mock up of how I want the Gatling Gun shrouds to look

image_zps75199352.jpg

The first initial cut on the Mini GG. I was still afraid to hack into the OEM low beam bezel incase I couldnt pull off the look. Once you cut into it theres no turning back...

image_zps680d2ca8.jpg

Sliding the Mini GG inplace... Still requires a lot more cutting..

image_zps527bffc3.jpg

Finally bit the bullet!!! Had no choice as the Mini GG shroud was not going to "slip" in any further without cutting the OEM bezel

image_zps5824cf9b.jpg

image_zpse9fd7912.jpg

More cutting leading to a better fit

image_zps77751578.jpg

Getting closer and closer

image_zps36149037.jpg

The final look of the OEM low beam bezel. No more cutting

image_zpsa14707b6.jpg

Mini GG trimmed to a final depth of 45mm for the best fit

Test fit

JB Stik applied as the primary adhesion

JB Stik finally cured and hold the shrouds in place

All that left to do is seal the HL up

Testing the LED strips

H1 bulb now protrudes from the back of the high beam housing. The dust cap no longer fits.

    • I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels. 
    • Did a little bit on the V37 today. I bought this LED kit out of the US https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125953603618. Best I could find online but didn't look great, in the end the quality was pretty much right and it did come with locations for each light including rear number plate and a few spares. The factory owners' manual was also useful with information on where to pop each light out without damage. I prefer the LED look as I use it daily including at night and the LEDs are both brighter and the white light is easier to read with. Vanity mirror comparison, LEDs just look more modern The glove box was the only difficult one (and the only one that was previously blown.....), steps were Open glovebox 50% but not fully open Push up on bottom of the box to unclip it on both side, not screws or pins to remove Remove the top stays at an angle, right side then left, because.... Before dropping the glovebox totally, remove soft close clip on left Then, remove 7 screws to release the glovebox surround Twist the globe holder anti clock to release it from the surround In this case, the LED globe supplied was wider than factory and did not fit, so I ground down each side about 1mm then inserted it Last trick, start engine to check the LED polarity is correct, the globe only operates when the engine is running (whether the box is open or closed) I also moved the 4G booster and wifi across from the Fuga, a little frustrating as I could not find a good Accessories ACC source anywhere in the boot so I'll run a wire from the cabin next time I get a chance. Also, unlike the Fuga the external antenna wire does not quite fit between the rear windscreen and the body so I think I'll have to drill a hole in the roof to mount it. Probably not that interesting for most people so I'll just post once complete
    • Pretty sure I could do but it would need to be exported and reimported as the current import approval is race only. But in practice there are plenty of other practical reasons it can't be a road car despite their potential value these days like stripped interior looms, cage to cut out etc Nah, no mods to it other than updating the roll age to current regs. It makes about 350 (laggy) kilowatts on the N1s at 18psi which is enough to push it around the place
